I've been using dpkg-cross to cross-compile debs for the parisc port.
dkpg-cross provides a replacement dpkg-buildpackage wrapper that nicely sets
up your environment so the build uses the right tools. One thing it does is
set the environment variable STRIP to the location of the strip program for
the architecture you are cross-compiling for. It would be nice if dh_strip
would pay attention to that variable and strip the binaries properly.
Attached is a diff for dh_strip that uses STRIP if set. Please consider adding
it.
Thanks,
